A Text Alert System Ensures Guest Safety

| August 27, 2015 | By

A text alert system gives you the needed proactivity to boost safety factors at your property while minimizing your risk.

It allows you to do this so you can keep your guests safe.

It’s this simple:

Proactive leaders make all the difference in the experience of their guests.

When it comes to safety, ever-changing technology is the impetus for how professionals train and prepare for future incidents and issues.

Preventive protocols are a necessity, and they need to be tested over and over.

But protocols only go so far.

You need a medium for being proactive. You need a way to communicate with your guests and staff during times of emergency.

From active shooters to severe weather, the use of a text alert system can be the difference between safety and lives lost.

Putting Some Perspective on Your Situation

We enjoy role-playing so let’s take a moment to put things in perspective for you.

Do us a favor, put yourself on the other side of the operation.

Now:

You’re attending an event at a local venue.

You notice a male adult, approximately 18 years old that seems to be acting a little suspicious. Much to your dismay, you think he’s carrying a gun.

You can’t be 100%, but it’s definitely something bulky.

Even with your known training, how would you react? Do you have the ability to anonymously alert authorities at the venue?

It’s conceivable this person plans to hurt other guests.

It gets worse:

Without a tool to let event staff know what you’ve spotted, and without risking your life, something might happen very quickly.

How would you feel knowing you could’ve prevented this incident? How does it feel knowing you do not have the ability to communicate the information to venue staff?

Think about it:

If this person is planning an attack, response time matters. Seconds matter.

No more role-playing…

It’s time to get serious and focus on the safety and security of your guests now.

The dangers at your property are real – very real – and your ability to deter and mitigate them should be too.

A Text Alert System Allows Your Team to Be Proactive and Sparks Quick Response

Managing a property, large or small, can be exhausting. You might even say it is exhausting – all the time.

Text communication is a quick solution for problems of active shooters, unruly behavior and the fight against drones.

It provides your guests with a tool that leads to the quickest response. It’s the way to keep your guests safe.

The moment your guests spot a drone flying over stadium seats or the man with the gun…provide the ability for them to easily send a text message from their phones to report it.

At this point, you and your system will become invaluable. Would you agree?

It’s important to understand:

The power a well-organized and well-designed system gives you. It empowers you and your team to keep everyone safe.

It’s not one benefit, two benefits, six benefits or even 21 benefits that’s important today.

It’s everything, the collective. It’s the how.

Together your guests, team and text notification software are how everyone stays safe and how you enhance your credibility as a professional.

How’d We Figure This Out? It’s Simple.

Your guests, combined with your team, leads to proactivity, prevention, and lots of lives saved.

Here are the facts…

The cost to implement a text notification system is nominal in comparison to, not only the total cost of running an event, but any legal costs over incidents not handled well.

Look:

It’s a low-cost, empowering, pioneering solution for your property.

Once again…

It’s simple.

Text notification software lets you mitigate incidents as they’re occurring or prevents them from ever occurring at all.

Having thousands of eyes throughout your property is something you shouldn’t take lightly. (We certainly don’t.)

That’s an intangible value you don’t have to see in order to believe it’s working for you.

Compared to calling 911, communicating through text messaging is fast so it eliminates precious time being wasted.

Think about a 911 call where they ask you for your name, location, number of suspects, a physical description of any possible suspects, the number and type of weapons involved…

Remember, seconds matter!

Now:

If something did occur, you’d most likely have to provide even more information to the authorities. Time is of the essence here.

Giving your guests and staff the tools to be proactive is the least you can do in your goal of keeping everyone safe…and achieving peace of mind.

Here are four steps to your peace of mind:

  1. Guests send in text messages with vital information and location details of a potential incident or one happening now.
  2. A visual representation of all messages by status lets your team quickly respond to the high priority issue.
  3. Staff identifies resources and communicates to your emergency response teams.
  4. Many lives are saved, and so is your peace of mind.

But wait:

Let’s not forget the importance of managing and analyzing all your data.

Use one-click reports to reduce reaction time to incidents. We love response times and you should too. They make all the difference – trust us!

Your value is proven in your ability to keep guests safe, now and in the future.

Over to You

You’re in the business of keeping your guests safe. That’s why we want to help you ensure your operation measures up.

With that said, will you be implementing a text alert system at your property to have the ability to protect your guests?
